Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes and the Mercer County Division of Culture and Heritage along with the Mercer County Office on Aging are proud to present the Mercer County Senior Art Show from July 18 through August 3 at the Meadow Lakes Springpoint Senior Living facility in East Windsor. On August 3 from 1:30 to 3:30 pm, a closing reception will be held at which the 2012 awards will be announced and the artists may retrieve their work. First Place winners in each category will move on to the New Jersey Senior Citizen Art Show.

Any Mercer County resident age 60 or older may submit artwork to the Mercer County Senior Art Show for possible inclusion in the New Jersey Senior Citizen Art Show. All submissions must be the original work of the applicant, created within the last three years, and not previously entered in the Mercer County Senior Art Show. Applicants may submit one piece of art in any of the following categories: acrylic, craft, computer imagery, drawing, mixed media, oil, pastel, photography, print, sculpture, and watercolor. One winner in each category will move on to the state show at Meadow Lakes. There must be three entries per category before judging can take place.
